BOINC, a middleware system for volunteer computing, allows hosts to be attached to multiple projects. Each host periodically requests jobs from project servers and executes the jo...
This paper addresses the problem of efficient execution of a batch of data-intensive tasks with batch-shared I/O behavior, on coupled storage and compute clusters. Two scheduling...
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) raise new challenges in designing protocols for solving the consensus problem. Among the others, how to design message efficient protocols so as to...
The Grid provides mechanisms to share dynamic, heterogeneous, distributed resources spanned across multiple administrative domains. Resources required to execute a job are identif...
